It is more important to know where you are going
It is more important to know where you are going than to get there quickly.” – Mabel Newcomber I love this quote and the message it sends. It’s true. We need vision and clarity to know where we are going before putting the foot outside in the big world. I wanted to keep this page simple, with no drawings, just words. The face on the left is one I did a while ago. Using neocolors 2, I created a random background on the other page and activated the colors with a wet tissue, because the sketchy paper couldn’t hold too much water. Then I wrote this beautiful quote that…

The things you take for granted someone else is praying for
Most often than not, our busy lives prevent us from looking around at the little things that bring us joy. Being in a continuous state of disatisfaction and disappointment is what keeps us blindfolded from not seeing what’s right in front of our eyes: life ain’t that bad. Things are not that dramatic as they seem at first. People around us have more soul that we want or expect once we get to know them deeply. But sometimes the more we try to get to the core of it, the harder it gets to see the things we should be grateful for. Being grateful for small things we have in…

Japanese Quince and Baby’s Breath Spinea
Almost April? Already? I can’t believe how fast March went by! And because I love my Japanese wall calendar, for this page I got inspired from the March calendar illustration, some beautiful blooming red Japanese Quince flowers. Aproape aprilie? Deja? Nu-mi vine sa cred cat de repede a trecut luna martie! Si pentru ca iubesc calendarul meu de perete cu flori japoneze, am ales ca aveasta pagina sa fi inspirata de ilustratia din calendar a lunii martie, o ramura cu flori de gutui inflorite. I had to work really fast to finish this page, as time became very precious lately. This is one of the reasons why I’ve chose to use…

Fuchsia in Bloom
With about 110 recognized species, Fuchsia flower looks like a ballerina with many legs. It’s gracious and delicate, hanging upside down with its gorgeous coloring. This flower does not serve as wonderful painting and drawing inspiration, but it’s also a bliss for the eyes. So why not draw and paint it in my art journal? Exista aproximativ 110 specii recunoscute, floarea de fucsia arata ca o balerina cu mai multe picioare. Este gratioasa si delicata, atarnand cu capul in jos cu coloritul sau uimitor. Aceatsa floare nu serveste doar ca minunat material de inspiratie pentru pictat si desenat, dar este si o incantare pentru ochi sa o privesti. Asa ca de ce…

The Lotus Flower
Drawing with colored pencils is just so much fun! I was inspired by a photo found on Pinterest for this lotus, and again I’ve used Prismaclor pencils to complete this drawing. Only that this time I haven’t blend the color with oil, leaving the drawing as it is. I don’t have photos in stages with this flower, as it was a fast drawing and I completed in no time. Desenatul in creioane colorate e atat de distractiv! Pentru aceasta floare de lotus am fost inspirata de o poza gasita pe Pinterest si am folosit din nou creioanele Prismacolor. Doar ca de data asta nu am folosit ulei pentru a amesteca…
